PRESS COMMENT.

Detroit Free Press: He who fights in
Ferry's way will live to fight another
day.
Galveston News: II Ferdinand wants
tolearn how to laugh at the hOwls Of the
dissatisfied, let him write to Eugene
Higgins, inclosing stamp for reply.
indianapolis journal: Perhaps Mr..
CleVeland's principal reason for desiring
q second term is that he may carry out
some Of the promises made for his first.
New York Sun: The death OF the
largest man in the world is reported
from London. The man with the big
gest big head in the world is not dead,
but kicking; and he is = mugwump.
New York Sun; Three days In st.
LOuis-One day in Chicago? Missouri a
surely democratic state, Illinois state
where the democracy has q fighting
chance. Bad great circle politics, Mr..
Cleveland
Boston Transcript: The Detroit Free
Press is dissatisfied because Boston has
eighteen public statues and Detroit has
only four. The editor of the Detroit
Free Press evidently has never seen
BOstOD's statues.
Sioux City (IOwa) Journal: The In
dOrsement Of Senator Allison is not the
less certain and enthusiastic because the
republicans Of Iowa in their state con-
ventiOn thought it best not to make for
nal expression thereof.
Boston Advertiser: However fierce
John Swinton became IN his Trades
against the enemies OF the people, he
was honest and modest. 1t was no oubt
hard for him to see the men to whom he
had given advice, encouragement, and
aid, fit tickle-minded away and hover
mOth-like about the candle which
George would fain persuade us is the
rising sun. He fought for his own, but
fairly and without envy.
